Petitions

Mark Field Excerpts

Wednesday 17th July 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mark Field (Cities of London and Westminster) (Con)]

I take great pleasure in presenting this petition on behalf of Mrs Wendy Binder, Mrs Sally Tooth and some 700 local residents of the Churchill and neighbouring wards in the Cities of London and Westminster constituency.

The petition states:

To the House of Commons.

The Petition of residents of Churchill and neighbouring wards in the Cities of London and Westminster constituency,

Declares that they object to the plans by the Post Office management to close its office at Lupus Street, Pimlico, London SW1 by March 2015 as it would be to the serious inconvenience of local residents and to the detriment of the community.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to intercede on their behalf to require that the Post Office maintain this important facility in its current form and location and desist from its plans to close it.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.
